Kazan Cathedral
St. P's Kazan Cathedral is a mighty affair, complete with colonnades and statues to Kutuzov (responsible for burning Moscow so that Napoleon wouldn't get it - the original 'scorched earth' policy?) and Barclay de Tolly. Inside, a wedding was going on and the singing (a 5-woman choir) was heavenly. We stopped briefly at Kutusov's tomb, which has captured Napoleonic standards above it that are very faded indeed.
